Thoreau on work ethic
Henry David Thoreau’s utopian vision of labor for all. In “Life Without Principle,” Thoreau wrote,… it would be good economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for the love of it.
